Mushyrulez’s Extremely Trivial Askings

Lately, I’ve been reading various anime posts, despite having not experienced this season other than the masterpiece that is Something Acutely Obese. That is to say, I read posts about anime I’ve not watched.

For me, reading anime posts is more entertaining than watching the anime in question. This may speak to a) my questionable sanity b) how humanity is declining c) how hume-anime is declining or d) the appeal of captivating posts.

And so, a question to none of you readers out there. What’s your favourite part of anime blogging?

Is it broadcasting to the whole world your terrible taste in anime?

Is it reading the mundane splatter of amateur episode summaries?

Is it aggrandizing the juvenile drama-fests that are Twitter and ‘meta-posts’?

Is it participating in collaborative activities with friends?

Is it diversifying to ‘catch ’em all’ by recording podcasts and catching Metapods?

Is it attaining awareness of assorted academic areas through auxiliary articles apropos of such?

Is it satirizing others’ grammatical errors as recreation?

Is it immersing yourself through videos in the multifaceted domain of two-dimensional moè girls (in brief: actually watching anime)?

The last ranks poorly in my list; indeed, I only despise podcasts and Pokémon more than raw anime consumption. Is this cause enough to supplant with another anime’s place? Is anime consumption merely a prerequisite for full entertainment? Is this (cleverly named) META post going to receive more comments than any other by a factor of five? Judging by the rate O-New’s stats are falling (we should hit 0 hits/day in approximately… two days), I daresay no. You can read a parody without knowledge of its source. You can read an anime post without experience thereof.

And I can stop talking like a retard as well as change this stupid Hakase banner

Is it making yourself seem smarter so other people can pretend to say nice things about you so you can pretend to be happy all the while doing your best to butcher anime/language/manga/this planet and every other nice thing out there?

Note the lack of commas. They help with the butchering.

I don’t know if the former is possible, but I’d be very careful about the latter. I hear one of your employees really likes that Hakase person.

After all these years of travelling I have finally found my home. In a text box.

Main reason I come is to find new series that are good. Other than some people I follow for other reasons that also post anime reviews and such, this is probably the only “aniblog” that I go to. Funny enough, most of what I have gotten out of here was from your old manga posts, which don’t seem to happen anymore. :/
Found ones like Dr. Frost from this blog.

A: Making people laugh at my terrible puns and jokes! Also screen cap comments are my favorite parts <3

Q2: Is it diversifying to ‘catch ‘em all’ by recording podcasts and catching Metapods?

A: Depends on your tastes I guess and if you have the time to listen to people ramble about anime, but I suppose if you are a "fan" of a certain writer and you want to hear them talk about anime then by all means go for it! I know Metanorn has a podcast we are up to 20ish "episodes" of stuffs out there. I think podcasts are better with multiple people versus solo where you just talk about what you hate and liked about the series you follow…these can be found all over Youtube, but to each their own I suppose also you could try being a guest on a few pods and see how it goes xD

Q3: Is it satirizing others’ grammatical errors as recreation?

A: I don't really mind this because I know my grammar can be horrible at times…yeah…anyway I like when someone finds something so I can learn from my errors lolol

unfortunately those other questions were yes/no ones from a list :'( thanks for your input

When I write about anime it is normally because I’m trying to contribute to the community. I watch, I get an idea, and I write a post. I hope it will somehow lead to conversation or at least be useful to someone. Though some things I write about (classy things) are more about the challenge than anything else.

I like the Hakase banner. I’m not a big Hakase fan, but I don’t dislike her. More importantly, I like having a banner on the site. If you have better ideas you should act on them or let me know so I might.

I tend to read manga in spurts. Basically I just buy a ton and it will sit there for months without me touching it, and then suddenly I will blaze through it like a holy fire of heavenly wrath through dry hay bails. So I guess in the end I still don’t read it.
